That Tennessee bill to cut welfare payments to those with kids doing poorly in school is absurd. What, you mean poor people with no resources have kids doing poorly in school? Let’s take money away and see that improve!!

Indeed. Almost as awesome as Justified last night.

What, you mean poor people with no resources have kids doing poorly in school?

What resources do you speak of? If anything, those poor kids should do better in school considering the lack of resources at home to distract them. They could actually may ya know do their HW.

Neoteric Hovercraft where the “Hovercraft Expert” in the video works is based in Terre Haute. Quite possibly one of the last places in the US I would have guessed for HQ of a hovercraft company.

They should just pass a law making being poor illegal. That’ll solve the problem.

At LSU, an academic fraud scandal emerged in the football program under then-coach Nick Saban in 2001-02. Emmert oversaw an investigation into the allegations made by a university instructor that eventually acknowledged five minor and isolated violations and declared most of the claims “unfounded.”

Give Saban the death penalty. Only way to fix this.

Missed that story. Intriguing. I think it’s worth a shot.

The worst part about this comment is you’re being serious. Truly stunning.

I would support the resolution on Saban.

I think it’s worth a shot.

I don’t think punishing a child for his/her parent’s lack of effort is wise.

“Jerry ‘the King’ Lawler Has a New Wrestling Museum”

I grew up watching Lawler. The running “work” with Andy Kaufman was classic (check it out on YouTube).

+1 piledriver

Carmelo Anthony scored 50

He was gunnin’ last night. Even if it was Heat backups, 50 is 50. Dang.

Bill tying student performance to welfare benefits advancing in Legislature.” Ummm

An attempt to make adults more responsible with welfare I can see it working, but too many kids, even if it’s just one, that could be hurt by this and I don’t like it’s chances to pass

I never read the KNS anymore and doubt I would have seen that story had it not been linked. 90% of my Twitter follows are friends in Knoxville and none of them have brought the story up. Which leads me to believe its a grandstand play with lots of smoke and no fire.

Typically, I would be all in on any legislation that encourages accountability for government assistance. But this is pretty absurd. Kids in these situations likely are under enormous stress in the best of times. Cant you see one of those kids coming home to a beating because the “parent” of the house had a $300 reduction in their benefit due to making a C on a spelling test.
